Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 14 September 2022
203. Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the other parties that he was referring to as having expressed the contrary view to the families, historians and county councils calling for the exhumation and re-interment of the Invincibles referred to in correspondence to this Deputy dated 26 August 2022. [43670/22]
View answerThe question of exhuming the remains of The Invincibles and removing them from Kilmainham Gaol to the Republican Plot at Glasnevin was suggested a number of years ago by the late historian, Dr. Shane Kenna. It has also been the subject of a number of calls within various County Councils, including with a Motion raised in Dublin City Council Chambers.
In parallel, contradictory views have also been expressed by other parties that the resting place should not be disturbed. For reasons relating to GDPR I am not able to release individual names of these other parties.
